About our external mastic in Rhynie
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. Typical jobs include movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and water getting into walls through failed joints, on copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Rhynie depends on the weather. Let us know about access to every wall and roofline.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Check external joints each spring
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Rhynie and across Aberdeenshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

When to call us in Rhynie
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Leith Hall, about 3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Rhynie.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
Leave it or put it right?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner so it’s worth doing right. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why book with us

What else we do in Rhynie
Walls and rooflines in Rhynie
With historic houses such as Leith Hall (about 3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rhynie as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Plenty of Scottish homes have harled walls, and joints where harling meets other materials need a sealant that can grip and flex.
